Abstract
Despite substantial telemetry gaps due to technical problems of the ASI Malindi ground station, AGILE confirms the enhanced gamma-ray emission (E >100 MeV) from the Crab Nebula region during the period October 17-18, 2013 (Fermi LAT ATel #5485), and reports a return to standard flux values on October 20th.
